Chad Haufler Sr., 45, is accused of causing the death of Marc Dimos, 51, of Minerva, Ohio, the agency said. Haufler is from the Ocala, Fla., area, but also has the Reynolds Lake Oconee residence, according to officials.

He is being held in the Greene County Jail, records show. No bond has been set.

“From the point of the initial phone call to 911 to when he was questioned by investigators — there were things that led us to believe that what he said did not take place,” Harrison said.

Deputies said they found Dimos’ body in the basement. Haufler was then taken to the sheriff’s office for questioning.

Manny Arora, Haufler’s attorney, told Channel 2 the two were good friends who visited each other often.

“They were very good friends,” Arora said. “They’ve been hunting and fishing together. The victim has come to his house in Florida, and he was obviously with him in Georgia.”

Haufler and Dimos were Facebook friends. Just five weeks ago, the victim posted a comment under a photo on the suspect’s page.

“I think they were just a couple of guys hanging out, eating steak, enjoying life and probably drinking a little too much,” Arora said. “That’s the best I can tell you right now.”

Dimos’ body was taken to the GBI Medical Examiner’s Office in Decatur for an autopsy, which has been completed, the GBI confirmed. However, they wouldn’t release any preliminary findings since this is an ongoing investigation.
